Scoring: IMP

(P) - 1♦ - (P) - ?
(P) - 2♠ - (P) - ?


You are playing Acol, but the bidding would be the same in SAYC or 2/1. What are your first two bids?

i'd bid 1♥ at either.. i'd hate for it to go 1d/2c/2d (partner might have 4/6 and not enough to reverse - canape anyone?)

In Acol, 2♣ and then 3♣.

In 2/1 I suppose I have to bid 1♥, but then I think I'd try 2NT over 2♠ (wouldn't 3♣ be fourth suit forcing?)

I bid a direct 3♣ invitational bid over 1♦, Jxxx is not a real suit and if pd has 4 hearts and a strong hand he will bid 3♥. I strongly hate the 1♥ bid.

After 1♦ - 3♣; 3♠ I bid 3NT.

Ditto
Yes 3c is 4th suit, so what, P also knows in 2/1 we may have real longer clubs in a weak hand and should bid with this in mind.

1♥, don't see why I would make it disappear
3NT, the right contract probably (2NT would show slam interest, but since the ♣ suit is burried you can't really check that out)

In Acol I would probably begin with 2♣. Might depend on the sort of Acol. In SAYC or 2/1, I begin with 1♥.

Next bid: I'm not sure if 2NT would be forcing in Acol if my first bid was 2♣ (probably depends on the sort of Acol, I think it's forcing in modern Acol and non-forcing is classic Acol). Anyway, 3NT must be right.

Basically because unless partner has 4♥ and less than 2♣ you will play better in ♣ than ♥. And if hand belongs to partscore the only way to play in ♣ is to start with 1NT. Remember this is IMPs!

Are not J/S's forcing to game anymore? (or at least to 3NT?) This auction calls for the bid that best describes the hand, ie 3C artificial so that when pard completes his pattern description, you will know where to go next.
